China executes Tibetan protesters
GuardianUK ^ | 22 October 2009 | Jonathan Watts

Exile groups report the deaths of four Tibetans linked to last year's riots. Chinese authorities have carried out their first executions of Tibetans in connection with the deadly riots that swept Lhasa last year, according to exile groups.

As the first reported judicial killings in the region for six years, the news has prompted overseas protests and concerns that proper legal procedures were not followed.

The Chinese state media have yet to confirm the executions. However, the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy, based in Dharamsala in northern India, said it had reports that they took place early on Tuesday morning.

It identified three of the executed Tibetans as two men – Lobsang Gyaltsen and Loyak – and a woman named Penkyi. The fourth victim was not named. .."The internet is monitored, censored and manipulated more in Tibet than in other Chinese provinces," Reporters Without Borders said. "Despite the risks, Tibetan internet users continue to transmit information, especially to the diaspora and human rights groups. It is deplorable that the Chinese police devote so much energy to identifying and arresting ordinary internet users."

Thanks Barack!!!

POTUS sees Fox News as a bigger threat to the US than China. Hillary's going to sit still as long as the Chinese continue to buy our debt.

Dalai Lama = bad guy.

Mao = great guy.

(Did you even read the book “Mao” ??? A truly disgusting human being)

The above lets you know what kind of upside down world these Marxists lovingly occupy.

What did Che say?

Wasn’t it “I love to hear their cries and moans as they are executed” ???????
